Well guys I had a great time seeing all those AMG's that turned up despite the awful weather! MBUSA was a great host and thanks to Pete and Rob who organized the day! Let's make it even bigger next year!

hey CT, I didnt see your car there! You should have asked Rob to let you drive that red C230 V6 with the 6 speed next to the SL 65. I was quite surprised with it. (I asked to drive the SL too, figured it was worth a shot!)

awesome job guys, kudos to pete, dave, Rob and everyone involved. it was a great turn out even with the crazy rain. Cant wait to see the dvd! lol.

Everyone who came it was nice meeting all of you and I hope to see you guys at the next one.

Nelson, nice pics!! its kinda funny that you can seem me wandering in 3 of them. Im the dork in the white polo.

i think that would be a great idea. i arrived late and didnt know if there was an introduction in the beginning or whatever and just went up to a few people and introduced myself after robs thing and the Q&A. name tags would have made things alot easier.

haha sorry man, i knew you said 55 something but couldnt remember exactly what it was. i was hoping to meet up with c43 for some hotboxin

Feel free to join and post your own pictures up to the site as well just so we can have all of them in one place to refer Rob to check...

Nelson

Thanks for the compliments. I usually take more pics, but my camera was getting soaked in the rain. The people at the meet were classy, I've been to quite a few different meets in past years and this one was special in that it had interaction with people who could bring changes from feedback of die-hard enthusiasts.

yo, that was John, jstrat85. He has a =heavily= customized turbo C220 and really wanted to bring it and show it, but he was having bad rubbing with the new rims so didn't bring it.

Peter, Dave, thumbs way way up. Great job guys. Hey, why wait for next year ... should do it in the spring too. BTW, can you provide Robs contact info? (sorry if you already have and I didn't notice).

ctC230K

yup i was there, got there along with a silver c240 at about 10:30 (damn rain) and parked next to a few SLK's, one of them from Maryland.

C43AMG

Maybe we can hook-up and play 18 somewhere and hotbox it. Let me know.

That was one hellish ride back home. Fairly heavy traffic on the Parkway, coupled with a monsoon. I hate the Parkway. 8 foot wide lanes, terrible drivers, toll booths from hell, SUV drivers thinking they are on the Autobahn, oy!!

Had alot of fun at the event. I have no idea who is what screen name but I was driving the CLK430 on 19's. I'm sure we will get an even better turnout next time (as long as its not raining again). Alot of people canceled from the MD group. Only the hardcore people came through. Is MB gonna cover the hospital bills for the 5 heart attacks I had driving up and back? Every time I hit a puddle or patch of water my car would pull HARD and I thought I was gonna go straight into a wall. I will accept a CLK DTM as payment. I know this might not be the place to mention this but I think the Porsche 997 with color matched wheels was HOTTTT!!!!!!! I didnt like it at first but it grew on me during the drive up. Did anyone get the contact info for that detail stuff they used under the canopy? That stuff works GREAT!

C43AMG

I can't wait for the letter from the GSP for blowing thru the toll booth and only dropping 60 cent in their money gutter.The toll system on that road blows.

C43AMG

That guy was one of 55fanatic's boys.The product was from the Adam's Polish line.PM 55fanatic and I'm sure he can give you the info.

c55m8o

I'm po'd @ myself ... I wanted to buy a kit but didn't get to before I got outta there, and they were gone.

c55m8o

oh, and frigg'n potholes going back to NYC ... badly bent the rear rims now too. Winter can't get here fast enough so I can take them off and send them to Kinesis and get all new inner and outer drums on all four rims.

...Hey all. Remember that Silver C43 with the Kinesis rims? I'm thinking about changing the center's finish while it's there in Kinesis's hands (depending on cost). Any ideas about color? Perhaps hi-gloss Anthricite?

Also, I should have my pics up soon too. And Ya, I think name + handle tags, or actually hanging badges, would have been great.

hey guys, yeah if you are interested, let me know and I will pass you along to the right people...

C43AMG

Pete , nice pics.Do you have any more to post ?

c55m8o

Sure PM me. I did get the guys card who was helping wipedown my car. Not sure if he's the one you recommend I call (I don't have the card with me so can't tell you his name).

c55m8o

Hoping there's a pic or two of the pretty respectably filled-up room during Q&A, given the weather and all. I said to myself after, "why didn't I shoot one of them?".

C43AMG

Did he "clip" my chamois ?

c55m8o

yikes ... you mean you shelled out the $100 for a kit and now you don't have the chomois from it?

55fanatic

no he took out his chamois to dry his car off before he did the video interview and then someone else borrowed it, then someone else borrowed it, and again and again and then someone pocketed it...
